On 21 July 2023 the Biden administration announced voluntary commitments from Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI. The companies agreed to internal and external security testing before release, sharing risk information, protecting unreleased model weights, third-party vulnerability reporting, watermarking or similar marks for AI content and public reports on capabilities and limits. Eight more companies, Adobe, Cohere, IBM, NVIDIA, Palantir, Salesforce, Scale AI and Stability, joined on 12 September 2023.

Why it matters

The largest US model developers made public safety pledges with no legal force, and the White House said in the same announcement that it was drafting an executive order.
